A Searching Question

More young people should be stopped and searched to help tackle knife and gun crime, a leading black police representative says.
See, we...um...can't really talk about demographics here because then we'd be...uh...intolerant, and we can't really point out where the majority of...I'm not going too far, am I? Anyway, if we include all "young people" it makes it look like we're not singling out any one group, even though...

I've probably said too much already. No one here is interested in elephants.

Anyway, how about those BET honorees? No justice, no peace, 'n all that.

This is interesting too:

"I am saying the police service should stop young people because young people are the victims of, and the perpetrators of, a lot of these crimes."

So being a potential victim now is probable cause for search and seizure in the UK? And they wonder why young people hate the police there so much..

Nothing says "I am inferior" quite like needing special rules and considerations to be viable.

It is not a black thing, it is a punk thing. It's just a damn shame that black punks seem to be heroes to other black punks.

It's obvious the UK does not have the 4th Amendment.

Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

It is equally obvious that the US does not honor the 4th Amendment.

At least Rudy Giuliani can recite it! That counts for something, doesn't it?

Except when he's trying to explain the 2nd amendment...

Loved the picture that went with the article. Showed an Uzi, lots of pistols, and Voila'! Shotgun cartidges! Not only are they groping around in the dark in England, they don't even know what they're looking for.
